:sparkles: My personal goal:

I’m currently chasing Level 10, and I need 27,098 points more to get there.
That means I’m aiming for around 350–400 points per day!
It’s ambitious — but with the support of our amazing LG community, I know it’s possible. :flexed_biceps:

I invite @TusharSuradkar @Rahul001 @Kumaarsantosh @Ssiddharth2000 @AjitThite @PrasadVR @TravellerG @NandKK and leaving few behind for others to invite

Interesting challenge @MathanVibranarayan! It’s so fast to go to the new year! I’m still wondering what my goal will be :thinking::thinking:. I guess I plan to have a special post about it.

Thanks for the initiative!

What a fabulous challenge, dear @MathanVibranarayan
Yes, I am inching towards my dream Level-10, but no hurries.
I do not visit new businesses regularly - only once in a while.
So points are coming in a bit slower.
Also, adding roads is not my cup of tea :smiley:

I am more keen on community building on Connect.
So I will try to reach out more Google Maps users from the communities in Pune and host or attend meetups :hugs:

My goal is also to reach Level 10. I just need 8,093 points to get there, and that’s 108 points per day.

I started the year thinking that points from drawing roads would get me there, but there seems to be a slow down in approvals, so those points are coming in slower than expected. I’ll need to ramp up my video and review activity if the road situation isn’t resolved soon.

All the best to you @MathanVibranarayan

I’m on track mapping 100 Road Mapper challenges every day of October. It is a bit hard, but I hope I can do it. Recently my total map views jumped from 2.1 B to 2.2 B. It rarely changes.

Where do you get to see Map Views @MortenCopenhagen? Seems there’s something new to learn here every day.

@MathanVibranarayan what a challenging challenge ? :slight_smile:

Thanks @TravellerG for the mention

My goal

I am a level 10 so -

Reach or cross 2000 reviews - I am at 1928 review so far ..approx 1/day ..I love writing reviews and another would be to improve quality of reviews/ media or stay

Add 500 captions - this was 0 for me

Try mapping roads - never done this before ..am not putting a number to it right now because I haven’t started yet

Meet-ups - Not started doing meet-ups due to family situation. I will need some time to kick this off but it’s on my radar.

Yes, thats correct. But when you said Map Views I assumed you meant you were seeing the views separately for different contribution types.

Sorry. I wish we had access to such metrics. In the monthly now weekly praise emails the total views of new places we added will be mentioned.

It is not at all difficult, dear friend… just once you start, you can do many…
Remember that the 1st and 5th meet-ups will award you 2 Badges on LG Connect…

Ready for any assistance you may need…
Remember to keep the meet-up as “Hybrid” so that we at far places can join through the virtual session.
